Music Licensing Terms

What sync licensing covers

A sync license from Dancing Turtle Records permits you to synchronise a specified track from our catalogue with visual media — including film, television, advertising, online video, games and other audiovisual content.

Exclusivity

All sync licenses are non-exclusive as standard. This means the same track may be licensed to other productions simultaneously. Exclusive licenses are available and negotiated on a case-by-case basis at a higher rate. Contact records@dancingturtle.com to discuss.

Territory

All sync licenses cover worldwide use as standard unless otherwise agreed in writing.

License duration

All sync licenses are granted in perpetuity — your production may use the licensed track for the lifetime of the work without renewal.

Credit requirement

All sync licenses require the following on-screen or end credit:

Music courtesy of [Artist Name] / Dancing Turtle Records

Specific credit placement and format can be agreed at the time of licensing.
